danni Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 [/f <_< ont] I am hoping you can help me, I have a P reg ford fiesta that has only done 63,000 miles but there is 1 problem. The hand brake light is always on in the car even when the hand brake is released but apart from this it is perfect mechanically. Can you advise what this is or how much it will cost to repair? I have read that this could be brake circuit fault Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamp2k05 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 check the sensor near the handbrake its most proboaly that just remove the protective cover that is around the hand brake it should be near the main cable i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisM Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 may be a silly suggestion but have you checked your brake fluid as i think the handbrake light comes on when the fluid is low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SierraYankee99 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I've even known this to happen when the brake linings are getting low. Are there wear sensors on your pads?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
